“Everything was incredible. Not only was the food delicious. The owner showed our 3 year old daughter all the choices and made her a custom small plate. It was very family friendly and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!!Vegetarian options: DeliciousParking: Lots of street spaces to park atKid-friendliness: They were very accommodating for kids. We had 5 kids total from baby to 3 year old. They were so friendly.“
“This is an excellent find in a city with nowhere near enough good south indian places, especially post pandemic! We tried several things and they were all great: very good ingredients, deep flavours, very good portion sizes! Can't wait to go back, only sad that I've missed 10mos of it's being in existence :)“
“I took a lot of accidental live photos here, I would have preferred stagnant. I just wanted to capture one moment, I didn't need any of the moments leading up to that one moment. I'll smile for photos because I want to believe I'm happy in most moments of my life. Live photos are showing me that sometimes I look miserable right before smiling. Anyway, at least food doesn't change much with live photos. It looked and tasted great.“
“Great vegetarian food. Fast service, aQuiet, wonderful feel, and great customer service. Food is very tasty. I've gone a total of 5 times within the last 3 months. I do not eat out much. But when I do, I like authentic food that feels like home. Shangri-La Vegan On Linden marks the spot.“
“Delicious food. Amazing service. And great portions. We got the poke bowls; they were great!! We also got the 3 amigos special roll, green tea, miso soup, and salmon nigiri. All amazing!! Our server was nice, quick, and very attentive. Always making sure our tea was hot and we were well covered. A couple outdoor tables, and a good amount of indoor. Tons of take out action. They have cool purple rice as a signature. And the fish was very tasty! Highly recommend. There is a good sized parking lot next to the restaurant. Just be sure to park with caution; the neighboring Ace hardware brings a lot of turn over of large work trucks that have some challenges with the parking lot. This is a great spot!!Vegetarian options: Tons of veg optionsDietary restrictions: Tons of veg optionsParking: Street parking and a lot both free!Kid-friendliness: Yes!Wheelchair accessibility: A bit tight, but I believe it is Ada compliant“
“I absolutely love how this place is down-to-earth and back to basics. There aren't any options when you order, except between a large or medium portion. Everyone is given the same menu each day which rotates and features a soup, a salad, rice, and a variety of healthy vegetable dishes. There is self serve tea for free“
“Meet the restaurant of the future! Great vegan dishes, smart ordering system and fast and efficient kitchen. We were impressed.The restaurant is spacious, a lot of light, beautiful design and very clean. The hosts are very helpful.Most important: the food is delicious! Even if you are not a vegan, try it!Kids loved it too, they had the best hamburger ever (quote).Kid-friendliness: Healthy and tasty, great value for money“
“This wonderful place is my other office. It's cute and cozy, has strong wifi, the staff is super friendly, and the food is delicious. It's not cheap, but they use lots of fresh, healthy ingredients and it's beautifully presented. I've recently had the winter lentil salad, the French grilled cheese, and the tomato bisque. Yum.“
“This is my favorite pizza.Also, it is my favorite gluten free pizza.Furthermore, it is my favorite vegan pizza.Finally, the people who work here are friendly and clever.My friends like Dimond Slice, too. They said, "How did you find this place?"“
“Unique salads, healthy ingredients and quite large portions. You should empty the container into a larger dish at home and stir the ingredients well.My favorite is the Vibrant salad, which has an outstandingly complex flavor mix. I still usually add the excellent lentil balls“
“Vegan cuisine (non-religious)Ethiopian cuisine, very interesting to try. The menu has a large QR code on the transparent partition at the cashier counter, and you can see the picture by scanning it. If you have no clue, just choose the most popular area. In addition, they also have traditional staple dishes, which look like burritos but taste like cakes, and they also have rice options.The service is very homely and friendly, it looks like a three-generation family restaurant.The taste can also be adjusted, such as adding spiciness or if you don’t want onions.There are many street residents in this neighborhood, so the lights are a little dim at night.In addition, the sign at the entrance is not very obvious. Although it is a store with large floor-to-ceiling glass, it is easy to miss it at night, so open your Google Navigation.Oh, I forgot to mention: very delicious!Recommend you to give it a try!Paid parking is available on the street.Vegetarian options: Vegan (non-religious)Dietary restrictions: Ethiopian meals“
“We have been to Millennium several times and have never been disappointed. Their 4 course fixed price meals on Friday and Saturday are incredible. You have a large selection of each course. At $70 per head this is expensive but it is well worth it! It is important to make reservations. They also have a pizza night on Mondays and we celebrated a going away party their for the Rancho Compasion Sanctuary manager that was wonderful!“
“I have several favorites here but you have to do the mushu wraps as an app! The food is always great!The only downside is that the timing for food to be ready can vary wildly (10-20 mins from the expected time) each time I go to pick up. But the food is always fresh and warm.“
“AMAZING vegetarian & vegan restaurant!!(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)❤️?I’ve been wanting to visit this place since my second year in Berkeley, and I’m glad I finally did!You can tell they made their food with great care and the ingredients are yummy and fresh!The staff are very nice; the vibe inside is clean and chill. This is a great place for you to hang out with a small group of friends or come alone to recharge your mental health (I mean seriously, their food is tasty, healthy, and pretty!)I’d definitely come back very often to try out all other creative cuisines! “
“A latecomer to the Vacant to Vibrant pop-up series. I walked by several times hoping they'd open and finally they did! It was definitely worth the wait since Senegalese food is very unique in the FiDi (and even San Francisco) and it's delicious!Pizza Pulaar: A really unique "pizza" and much heartier than typical flat breads. The nice butternut squash paste made it hearty and flavorful. The generous amount of cheese was crucial to be pizza-like. And all the wonderful spices gave it so much personality. Plus the fresh pomegranate seeds were a great seasonal touch. High recommend!Senegalese Street Style Spaghetti Sandwich: It was like they took a basic Italian spaghetti and meat sauce then added a bunch of yummy African spices. Definitely a nice zing. A tad carby, but so good! Though I must say there were some skeptical reactions when I posted pics on social media. My recommendation is just try it yourself!Chicken Drumsticks Teranga: While the other dishes are tasty, they seem a bit sparse on protein. So adding these to your order is a nice way to upgrade your meal. It would just be a regular old baked drumstick, except for the delish sauce! It's got a nice tang and tons of spices. They should seriously sell bottles of that stuff to upgrade your chicken at home.Mango Kalamata Olive Salad: Kinda tastes like a regular salad, that happens to have fresh mangos in it. Lots of healthy veggies, but the least flavorful of the items I tried.Maafe Bowl: It wasn't the maafe I was expecting, but it was the maafe I needed. I thought it would have a stronger peanut taste, kinda like satay. Turned out to be packed with tons of flavors and just a little peanut undertones. It was hearty, thick and spicy. Pretty filling for vegetarian, with lots of nice chunks of root veggies and squash. I made sure to get every bit of that delicious sauce with the stray bits of rice left over.Love Potion: Lots of flavor in this little bottle. A little thick, so I added some sparkling mineral water in a glass with this and turned it into a refreshing spritzer. Though it's also enjoyable as a thicker drink by itself; flavor is not overwhelming just a bit of viscous texture.“
“I've worked in the area over 8 years and admittedly walked past this place. Today I'm glad I stopped by! Looking for a quick snack or a meal Peasant Pies will fill both. Great location with plenty of seating and friendly staff make it an ideal spot for BLD! Savory and Sweet pies in a perfect portion will give a sandwich a run for the $. Pro Tip: Try the sauces on the savory pies! Recommend and will be back.“
“Nature is a wonderful vegetarian/vegan restaurant in downtown Oakland California. We have been a fan for several years. After closing indoor dining during pandemic, they are back open for indoor dining. They have always had the carry out option. We visited yesterday and had a great dining experience. We had ordered hot and sour soup, sesame chicken, spicy eggplant, chicken chow mein and spicy Thai fried rice in a clay pot. All dishes were excellent. The standouts were the sesame chicken and the soup. A friendly staff and a welcoming ambiance. Glad they are open again for indoor dining as we will be back more often in person than carrying out.“
“Amazing vegan food - really love that it tastes and feels healthy. Have had a delicious brekkie bowl and burger for food and great smoothies. Coffee is really good as well. Definitely 5 stars for the food.Atmosphere is a bit sad and boring honestly. And service is virtually non existent. Am I paying a 20% tip to get my own water, utensils and straw for the smoothie? And then clear the table myself after I’m done? Come on, that’s too bad.Would recommend for the vegan food, but don’t expect any service of cozy atmosphere.“
“Being a Gujarati and vegetarian, Besharam is a go to for us. It is one of the very few restaurant with veg tasting menu. However, we went ahead with a La carte menu.We started our dinner with mango lassi, chai and cocktails. The cocktail was mild, but the chai made me remember the tea stalls of Ahmedabad. I really loved the taste and the smell of cardamom coming from chai.For appetizers, we had drunken panipuri and pav bhaji puff. The panipuri was amazing however the name might be misleading. It is not at all drunken panipuri. They just add a drop of gin which is very hard to even taste. I wanted to try it by name but be aware it is very misleading. The Pav bhaji puffs were amazing with melt in mouth puff pastry.For mains we ordered, maska paneer, malai kofta, cheesy garlic naan and roti. The paneer was fresh and soft just like homemade paneer. Koftas were amazing. The roti was more like thepla.And for dessert we had Shrikhand Cheesecake. The cheesecake for super luxurious with perfect sweetness. They had added blueberry compote on the top which I think was unnecessary. It was not going with the flavors of the cheesecake.The overall experience was amazing.“
“Calming, humble space. The owner was attentive and served us cookies she made earlier in celebration of Lunar New Year. :) Would certainly return.We enjoyed the wood-ear noodles and Jasha-shedre (a chicken curry soup) with madagascar pink rice. More than enough for two people! We finished off with Dresy, which is a sweetened rice dessert that is traditionally used in ceremonies. Delicious!“
“One of the best places for South Indian cuisine in India, and it does not disappoint here as well. Exceeded expectations in every regard, great food, delicious taste, amazing service, and a cozy atmosphere. All in all, a great experience, cannot recommend enough!“
“Blue Nile was my first taste of Ethiopian food, and I'm glad I tried it! The Meat Combo Platter was a hit! The Doro Wot, a traditional chicken stew with its rich and spicy sauce, was a standout, perfectly showcasing the bold flavors of Ethiopian cuisine. The Alicha Yeb'ge, a mild lamb stew, offered a delightful contrast with its aromatic blend of spices. And the Beef Bamia, with its tender beef simmered alongside okra and tomatoes, was a savory delight.The only hiccup was the slow service during lunchtime. We were the only ones eating inside, and it took a while for the server to bring water and menus. Plus, we waited another 30 minutes for our food. They could work on being quicker and more attentive.But despite that, Blue Nile is a great spot to explore Ethiopian flavors.“
“It's clean and bright, the service is warm, and there are many food choices. There are Chinese and English menus. They are very delicious, the portions are large, and the prices are affordable. If two people order five dishes and can't finish them, they have to take them away. We did not choose starch for the main meal. We recommend that if you are used to ordering staple food, just two to three dishes for two people to avoid being unable to finish the meal.recommend!“

“Brilliant little hole in the wall with amazing vegetarian Chinese food. They also have a busy take out counter for dumplings and puffs and such. If you are vegetarian, this is your Chinatown destination.Vegetarian options: You can't go wrong on anything here.“
“I’ve been to this amazing restaurant a couple of times now and come back for the great food and amazing service. This is a great restaurant with the kindest people running it. I placed a very large takeout order without calling in advance and was received with so much kindness and was even given some extras! The food here is absolutely delicious and the owner went above and beyond.“
“Affordable, high-quality, freshly-made, and generous portions. I stop by here often when I want something healthy for lunch. I typically get the falafel wrap, comes with a side salad. Also they have a large selection of fun drinks like kombucha, flavored sparkling water, and probiotic sodas!“
“Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะA local, family-ran Thai eatery boasting an authentic and all vegetarian vibrant, flavorsome and mouth-drooling menu at low-key fare off of chinatown. They have a plethora of tofu-based dishes and also do a bunch of their own special homemade veggie imitation proteins.I got the Pad Baby Corn Tofu and Pad Eggplant Tofu which were incredibly yummy, very well seasoned with a knockout flavor and plentiful portions and a nice texture.Support local businesses!“
“Such a tasty treat! We went for dinner and had the Samusa, Tea Leaf Salad, and some veggies. Everything was so delicious. The server was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. Definitely will go back. It’s also affordable.“
“I like the sizzling rice soup with extra broccoli. Too many good options to recommend off the lunch menu. The lunch includes a cup of hot n sour soup plus a vegan egg roll and rice. The general Tso's chicken tastes a little better when it cools down. I also like the mushu vegetables with tofu instead of eggs.“
“This is a modern and casual dining Thai restaurant with affordable price that provides various appetizers, soup, chef's recommended menu, salad, barbecue, noodle, curry, wok, along with alcholic and non alcoholic drinks. We were here to have a dinner with a friend who is a university student here, so that this place is suitable for the students.We tried Panang Nua for $15.95 as one of the chef's re commended menu here. A plate of white rice with the tender beef, Thai chili, coconut milk, peanut sauce, basil, zucchini, green bean, red bell in a thick sweet and savory curry sauce.For the drink, my friend recommended Singha Thai Beer. This was my first time having this Thai beer, and I could say that Singha is good! It's not bitter, but not overly sweet.“
“The Timatim Fitfit was plenty good, and they have quite a good vegetarian section of the menu. It arrives on Ethiopian time, so don't be in a hurry, but that's on par with all the other ones I've tried.Take my service stars with a grain of salt since it was a weekday and there was only one waiter for the 6 or so tables that were there. Maybe it was bad timing or maybe one will have better luck on the weekend. I personally absolutely hated the music videos they were playing, so that's why I didn't like the atmosphere, but maybe other people enjoy that as part of their experienceParking: There's a cutout from the street in front of the restaurant but it's shared with all the other stores and thus almost always full. You can go around the corner and find some street parking“
“Does well as delivery. Garlic noodles with extra chicken was tasty, not overwhelming or overly greasy. The extra chicken portion was generous. Egg rolls were crisp snd flavorful. Thai iced tea with oat milk hit the spot, is not overly sweet, and I really appreciate that PraJam has 3 milk options to choose from (Half & Half, Oat, and Coconut). The weakest link was the mango & sticky rice: tasty, good and generous mango, but the rice was not as sticky as I like it. Rice also could have used more sesame seed topping, but it was still yummy. Prices were sometimes a little high (nearly $11 for mango&sticky rice), but not terribly so. Glad this place has opened in my neighborhood.“
“I ordered food from here on New Years and it was absolutely delicious. I came back tonight and was super satisfied with the service. The new owners are really nice and make great sushi. I definitely recommend coming here and trying the dragon role. It was amazing!“
“Staff is super friendly, I wanted to take home a day old pizza but couldn't fit it in my backpack and the lady was nice enough to cut it in half and wrap it for me. Worker owned coop. Pizza is delicious.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“It's sad that the atmosphere is so important. This is a no frills sort of place. The bathrooms are super clean ( with really pretty tile) the kitchen is spotless, and the food is spot on. I had the mole plate, my husband had a burrito, and we shared the fried fish taco. All were delicious. The mole especially was very good. Full of flavor and not sweet! Go for the food and nice people!Vegetarian options: I saw a few veggie options and there was a vegan flan.Kid-friendliness: No frills place. They have kids menus and the people there were very welcoming to those who had kids with them.“
“Delicious food! Little snug, but your tastebuds will thank you.Had the staple chicken Tikka masala.They have restrooms, parking is both Street/metered, difficult to find.Vegetarian options: Menu optionParking: They have restrooms, parking is both Street/metered, difficult to find.“
“Quiet night with all the trick or treaters about and, I guess, no one gives out sushi on Halloween. Their loss, my win-- I had the sushi bar to myself and the full attention of a very talented and friendly sushi chef. I chose some things (nigiri, rolls) and all was fresh, super tasty, well prepared and nice portions. The miso soup was tasty but lava hot! I also asked for and enjoyed some recommendations by the chef and will definitely be back for more!“
“They have a seasonal menu with many vegan options. Visited with friends and we got vegan spring rolls, dumplings, and mushroom pasta. They were exceptionally good and worth the price. I didn't have the pizza as there was no vegan cheese replacement but heard it was good. The outdoor seating is very comfortable with heaters and curtains.“
“Jayna offers an array of Mediterranean eats, similar to what you'd find at Nick the Greek. However, the food is 10x better! Not too salty, the Beef and Lamb gyro was extremely savory with flavor, it did not feel like the food was from the freezer. Got the combo and was MORE than enough food for a late lunch early dinner. May not need to eat later and if i do, I'll have leftovers. Definitely check them out if you want a more flavorful, fast-ish Mediterrean food experience.Huge shout out to Ali for his great service and welcoming smile!“
“Wonderfully good chinese, scallion pancakes, fried wings, seasame chicken, white rice & kung pao chicken - All very well cooked & overall well made.Clean & quiet inside with a nice gentle atmosphere.Easily the best chinese we have had across the board & has likely ruined our ability to go to low quality chinese places back home. Highly recommended between the food, service and proper prices.First try should definitely be in restaurant for the freshest experience.Vegetarian options: Large sections of the menu are dedicated to a meatless dish.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible including all tables in the restaurant.“
“DAMN GOOD MEXICAN FOOD! I don't care what anyone says in the reviews, anyone giving this place less than a 4.5 does not know what they are talking about. This place is literally one of the only good places to eat authentic Mexican food. Their regular burritos are 10.95 and they are literally the size of other restaurants that charge you 13$ for "super" burrito and them shi be nasty. Bomb ahh asada fries, the guacamole is so good, it has a perfect mix of lime, pepper, salt and avocado. The tacos taste the same as the ones do in mexico, you want authentic? This place has tacos that are literally the same thing that they sell in Mexico, literally where tacos come from! (Specifically the ones from guadalajara, those are the ones it reminds me of). Burritos are fantastic. The asada is the best from every other taco place. If you want to find a better place you have to drive at least 30 more minutes south/southwest. This is an honest review by a real Mexican, not a gringo that only knows shell tacos and chimichangas.“
“Tha Peruvian Burrito is my favorite option along with any juice on the menu. God is good and these guys were rated 26 in tha world. Right down the street for the ultimate dining experience the Best Kitchen and Its so casual Love these people for being so fantasticVegetarian options: Juices out of this world. Food out of this world. Service out of this world.Thank you for setting the bar on what a kitchen is supposed to be. Love it❤️?✌️“
“Very nice and welcoming staff!Ordered takeout on a slow night and felt very calm while waiting for my food.I had the pad see ew with pork and the spicy basil with chicken. Good amount of spice for me with an average spice tolerance palette. Lasted me two meals!“
“Huge variety of salad toppings make this place great for any night of the week. Also, their employees are great. I left my drink on the counter just before closing time and one of the employees ran a block to return it to me. Great place to grab a bite and their customer service is amazing! Oh, and the toffee cookie is so delicious!“
“I hope the owners see this review. I always loved the food when I lived in mission and dined in store. Ordered from DoorDash today and food spilled all over the bag so badly. Thb I don’t think it’s the dashers fault. The food items have lots of liquid/sauce and the box container (not spill proof) doesn’t make sense at all. Please consider changing the food container option for third party delivery apps. I bet take outs picked up by eaters would be fine. Here I’m frustrated but had to accept DoorDash only refund 10 dollars to me (I had to discard one item cause the bottom was soaking wet. ?).“
“La burrita Is yummy!!!!! Located not far from Cal University. I ordered a super burrito shredded beef, the delicious beef and beans and rice inside had good flavor. Just look at the size of it on the picture it's huge. The atmosphere Is good, very busy inside and the service was good as well. I will say this, the restaurant is a little small and could get crowded easily but overall this is a perfect restaurant to eat. Give la burrita a try!!!“
“I went here last night with my partner and my daughter and I’m so glad we did because it was awesome! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve have since moving to the area 3 years ago. Everything is super fresh. My daughter ordered vegetable fried rice and there were actually hearty and fresh veggies in it! Im a vegetarian and ordered the “imitation” sweet and sour chicken. Normally im not big on fake meats but I’m so glad I got this because it was absolutely delicious. My very meat loving partner even liked it. The staff is extremely welcoming and very efficient. We will absolutely be back here and highly Recommend you try it!“
